Amber Teething Necklace for Babies (Unisex)
This is a beautiful necklace. I love that it's not stretchy. There are two, slightly larger beads, that twist apart so you can place it around the baby's neck, ankle, or wrist. As with anything related to an infant or child, please make sure you supervise the baby when they are wearing it.
I purchased this for a 5 month old infant that I babysit. She has been miserable and restless with her teeth. Her drooling has been horrible, too. I noticed an immediate difference. I placed it on her (with the parent's okay) and made sure it was against her skin. Within an hour, she was much calmer and her drooling was half of what it was before. I wasn't sure if I was just wanting to see what I was seeing, so I asked her Mom. She noticed the same thing. Baby was much more content. She wasn't drooling or gnawing so much. The rest of the week, she has been a different child. She's much more mellow and happier. She's eating better and taking better naps (Remove the necklace when they are napping!)
I'll be honest, I was very skeptical until I saw it myself. Once a week it's a good idea to wipe off with a damp cloth then dry with a soft cloth. I have seen where some users recommend setting this in the sun once every couple of weeks for a couple of hours. It's supposed to "recharge" them. I found this to be well made. The beads are knotted on, not loose.
I feel comfortable recommending this if you have a little one that's miserable with their teeth. The company does offer a 1 year guarantee so it's worth a shot to see if it will work for your little one. This would also make a great baby shower gift!

Buttons & Pleats Womens Cotton No Show Low Cut Liner Socks 5 Pairs
These are great socks. They're so cute and colorful. They fit well. I wear a Woman's size 7 1/2. They are a perfect fit. They stay in place, too. I have had no issue with them sliding down into my shoe or turning around on my foot. They stayed in place while I was working out.
The colors of these are bright and cheerful. They will match almost any outfit! They are also the perfect weight. They are made of a premium 76% cotton, 22% polyester & 2% cotton fabric. They didn't sweat my feet yet are still comfortable to wear around without shoes. Depending on the shoe, they either do not show or barely show in the shoe.
I washed these a couple of times before reviewing. They did not shrink at all. The colors stayed bright and they didn't develop snags or pills. These are of a good quality. There aren't any raw or crooked seams. The elastic in the top isn't too tight. It's just the right amount of stretchy.
I really do like these socks. These would make a great gift even if the recipient is yourself!

Zitrades Solar Christmas Lights 200led Solar String Lights Outdoor Lighting Patio Lawn Garden Multi Color 72ft 22m.
I love these. My only problem was deciding where to put them! I decided to put them in the back yard so that the neighbors wouldn't think my love of Christmas had gone too far! They were easy to set up. The stake slides easily onto the solar panel. Make sure to set the panel in a spot that will get plenty of sun but will be in the dark at night. I put these on my fence and waited for dark. They immediately came on around dusk (7:45 pm). They stayed on all night.
These lights are tiny but they are bright! There are different lighting modes you can set it on. I prefer the colorful twinkling. there are 200 lights in all. It stretches approximately 72 feet. They are LED lights and the unit is waterproof.

I am in love with these. They are very simple to set up. Make sure to set them where they will get a lot of light during the day yet will be dark enough at night for them to light up.

The stake is made of stainless steel. It fits firmly onto the flower. The bulbs of the flowers are LED bulbs. They let off a nice, warm glow. This is pretty sturdy and is waterproof.

Easter Eggs - Hide 'Em and Hatch 'Em Eggs (Series 2) - Watch Them Hatch Like Magic Three Different Pets!
My son loves these grow animals. This is a unique twist on those. We did have one egg arrive with a hole in it and another was cracked. This is my reason for the 4 stars and not 5. I placed them in water but I can not say how long it took them to hatch. My son couldn't wait and kept messing with them until he had the figures out. They are very cute and very different than any I have bought before. They are thicker and heavier. We left them in water and they grew quickly. Within 3 days, they had more than doubled in size.
I removed them and am going to let them dry out and shrink. My son loves to put his grow animals into plastic bottles to grow, We add water and a little food coloring. He keeps them all on a shelf. These will make a great addition to his collection.
These would make a great little gift to any child who enjoys grow animals. It's a unique way to present them. These aren't just for Easter but would be a hit any time of the year!

Packing Cubes 4pcs Value Set for Travel - Plus 6pcs Luggage Organizers Zip Bags
These are just what I was looking for! We like to take weekend trips. We want to be able to share a suitcase to make going in and out of a motel, simpler and packing the car easier. These are great. The 2 larger bags will easily hold 2 adult outfits each. I tested to see and I can fit 6 pair of my jeans into one and still zip it with no problem and with some room still left in the bag. I will disclose that I'm under 5 feet so my jeans aren't very long, as you can imagine! The smaller cubes can easily hold a couple of kid's outfits each. I tested using adult t-shirts. I was able to put 9 folded t-shirts into one and still zip it easily.
The included ziplocking bags are great for socks, underwear, shoes, or what ever else you want to organize in your suitcase. I would recommend wiping them off with a damp cloth if they ever need to be cleaned or washing, cold, gentle cycle then hanging up to dry. I found the cases to be well made with no hanging threads, raw seams, or anything loose.
This would make a great gift for someone who loves to travel! You could even just use the bags for organizing or packing away rarely worn items. I am so pleased to have found these!

Poweradd Portable Wireless Dual Powerful Stereo Speaker
I found this speaker to be very sturdy and well made. I love how quick and easy it is to connect a device through bluetooth. The speaker talks to you, be warned, because it startled me the first time I turned it on. You turn on the speaker, turn on bluetooth on your device, select the speaker, and it pairs. After it's paired, it should pick up your phone easily.
The sound was great. I held it while it was playing and could feel the base through the speaker. I love the lights on the top. Hit the volume up button once to skip a song or hold it down to turn up the volume. Hit the volume down once to go back a song or hold it down to turn down the volume. It is also a hands free device. You can answer your phone through it using the built-in microphone. For me, the calls were clear. It can reach up to 33 feet.
It's simple to charge and includes a charging cord. The Built-in 1200mAh Li-ion Rechargeable Battery can last up to 12 hours. It supports 5 hours on continual play. It also includes an 3.5mm auxiliary cable if you want to plug in a device instead of using bluetooth. The speaker comes with a 12 month guarantee. The outside is made of a thick rubber and the base is wide which makes it sit securely on a table or other surface.
Don't let the small size of this speaker fool you! It packs a powerful sound and is great for parties, working outside, or wherever else you want to stream music or listen to music on your phone.

LED Night Light for Kids and LED Flashlight/ LED Torch With Motion Sensor LED Light
I was pleasantly surprised with how much light these put out. They may be small, but they are very bright. I love that they are motion sensitive. I placed one in the bathroom and one in the hall. They put out enough light that you can easily see in a small bathroom, hall, or steps. They come with 2 backs that have a clip attached, 2 lanyard/wrist straps, and 2 sticky things for placing them on a wall or other flat surface. The regular back has a magnet on it so you can stick them to the fridge or other metal surface. I love that they come with the batteries already installed. My only complaint is I wish the instruction for putting on the clip back were clearer. The light does adjust so you can turn the beam to where you want it. The light is LED and is supposed to have 100,000 hours of brightness.
I would recommend these for anywhere you need a light. It's much easier and cheaper than installing an electric light!

4 Piece Barbecue Set
We love to grill and I would consider us heavy grillers. The tools are nice metal with sturdy wooden handles. Two of them have leather loops on the end for hanging. The mitt is nice, too. I swiped it for my kitchen! The set worked great for grilling burgers. We found that it worked best on a smaller grill since the handles aren't super long. I would say that they are standard size. The tongs did twist a bit when we tried using them on large, chicken breast. They did fine on small breast and chicken tenderloins.
I found that they washed up beautifully. I would recommend washing them by hand and drying them right away. They will last much longer if you do. This is a nice set that would make a nice gift for a weekend grill cook or newlyweds. They would also be good for traveling or for tailgating.

VisualScare Horned Owl Pest Deterrent with Moving Wings - Scare Birds, Rodents, Pests
I was excited when I found this. We have had issues with squirrels and birds in the garden. I was happy to see how realistic the face was when I opened the box. It was very simple to assemble. The wings connect to the body, you put it on a pole, then open up the wings. I placed it in the back garden area. It's so life like that one of my Chihuahuas was terrified when she saw it! She ran across the yard, barking. I have not seen any birds or squirrels in the back since I placed it there. I have not been missing any tomatoes for the last few days!
The owl seems of good quality. I would take it down or, at least, fold in the wings if it's going to be high winds. I would also suggest packing it away in the winter if you live where it snows. It will make it last longer.
It's so neat to look outside and see the wings, gently flapping in the breeze. If you aren't getting any wing movement and there is some wind, try turning it a little at a time, until the sock part can catch the wind. The size of it is impressive. This isn't a tiny bird but is the size of the barn owls I have seen. I just wish I had found this sooner.

36 Rectangle Chalkboard Labels - Blackboard Party Stickers
These are so nice especially if you like to organize. I was excited to try these because I like to use Mason jars for organizing and also for canning. I tried these out by placing a couple on some of my jars. I found that they stuck well, yet, still peeled off easily. The chalk, wipes off the stickers with no problem. I also found it easy to peel the stickers from the backing. The stickers are a nice thickness and do not tear easily. They also can be used for many different craft projects. They would be so cute in decorating for a wedding reception, birthday party, or baby shower. You get 36 which makes this a decent deal! I can't wait to organize my pantry of handmade canned goods with these!
